Everton chief Kenwright backs Eto'o to enjoy 'second Premier League adventure'

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright is of the belief that Samuel Eto'o will thoroughly enjoy his time at the club.

The Toffees have signed the 33-year old Cameroon striker on a two-year deal and after the completion of the transfer, Kenwright spoke positively about the former Barcelona and Inter Milan star who gets another chance in the English Premier League.

"Roberto (Martinez) and Samuel seemed a perfect fit," he told the club's official website of the ex-Chelsea man.

"I'm pretty sure Samuel will soon realise he's got the perfect club and perfect team-mates to really enjoy his second Premier League adventure.

"Throughout all of the negotiations, both Samuel and his representatives conducted themselves in an exemplary way and left Roberto and myself in no doubt that Everton was the only club he wanted to play for."
